format a number using comma separtion

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To format a number using comma separation in SuiteScript, you can use the

format

module's

format.getNumberFormatter()

function. This function will format your number according to the user's locale, which typically includes comma separation for thousands. Here is an example:

javascript
var format = require('N/format');
var myNumber = 3938.76;
var myFormat = format.getNumberFormatter();
var newNum = myFormat.format({number: parseFloat(myNumber)});

In this example,

newNum

will be the string "3,938.76" if the user's locale uses comma as the thousands separator. Please note that if you are trying to display a number in a Suitelet without formatting, you might want to consider using a string field and handling the validation yourself. If you are using a field from a custom record, you can also disable the formatting from the field's edit form. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
